Where have all the men gone? And why it matters for every child in Australia

Article here. Excerpt:

'Imagine, for a moment, that Australia’s education system looked like this:

Less than one-in-five primary school teachers were female. By Year 9, girls were one and a half years behind boys in literacy. Every year, 12,000 more girls than boys failed to complete high school. And universities were dominated by men, with 64 per cent more male graduates than female graduates.

What would happen next?

Governments would convene urgent inquiries, and rewrite curricula. Media outlets would run front-page campaigns. Universities would launch targeted pathways, and develop new programs. Schools would redesign classrooms, and shift their culture. And society would mobilise, because we care deeply about our daughters.

But this isn’t a hypothetical. These outcomes exist today; only the sexes are reversed. It’s boys and young men who are falling behind.'
